Ankur's passion for athletics ignited early during his school days at J.P.M. Senior Secondary School for the Blind in Delhi, fueled by his family and senior athletes like Ravindra Singh Nagar. He started by assisting others before conquering the track himself. Specializing in middle and long-distance running (1500m & 5000m), Ankur shares how his coaches steered him towards distance events and the critical role of guides in T11 category races.
